Now this is good writing! Starts out on an interesting level and just keeps getting better and better. Each page has something to offer to the story and that makes it go by pretty fast. As action goes--it hits hard and fast especially at the end and you will be riveted to each page as everything unfolds.
After Prince of Thieves, could Chuck Hogan come up with another accurate exploration of harsh, manly relationships that's as compelling and satisfying to read? Well, he did with Devils in Exile. I had high hopes and Devils came through in a huge way. The best post war, ex-GI portrayal I've seen by an author and that was just stage setting for the rest of the book. He goes on to use that premise to weave a thrilling, believable chain of events. And all set so well in Boston that you could get around town without a map after reading the book. A book with no weaknesses.
